Zas Editor - Hackdot

Re:Zas Editor by Annili on Friday April 08, 2022 @04:15AM (#30954568)

Zas Editor developer here. I think it’s important to address a problem a few people have mentioned so far: no data is collected other than your Mac’s serial number, which used to be used for finding how many computers a license is used on (we no longer do that)

We’re going to add a privacy policy in the website. We haven’t already done that because we didn’t really expect this much attention within hours of releasing. Honestly, we were expecting few downloads and more technical feedback.

FYI, the mac serial number seems to fit under the European personal data definition.

Thank you for not releasing this software on a subscription / rent-a-software business model, and for reasonably pricing it. Most SaaS applications make me feel like a hostage to them, and just not worth the expense and hassle of it.

At least from the website this looks really nice and brings with it some fresh ideas -- kudos on the ship!

Tangential: Are you the only developer on this? How long did it take from first line of code to current state? This sees like a monumental effort, so curious.

I’m not the only developer, but I’ve %90 of the work. Hopefully, we can get more support and expand

> How long did it take from first line of code to current state?

It started out as a part-time side project and after a while I started working full time on it. So, I’m not sure I can give an accurate answer to your question. The first commit was made in August 2020

It looks fantastic! I don't really have much to add besides: Congrats! I hope you succeed! Great work!
